Summary
Beatrice likes her life. Her work is fulfilling, her team is supportive, her friends love her (and potentially, despite all appearances, so do her parents). She wants for nothing. She wants nothing. Then a chance meeting with a friendly flight attendant throws all of that certainty up in the air.

Summary
The small picture prints and Ava waves it in the air for a few seconds before looking at it and laughing loudly.
“Let me see that-” and she snatches it from Ava’s hands, pulling a face when she sees herself in the photo, book held awkwardly in her arms and eyes squeezed, face grimacing at the unexpected flash. “Absolutely not-burn it.”
“What? No,” Ava laughs, snatching it back, “this is for my wank bank,” and at Beatrice’s horrified face she snorts, “dude I’m kidding, obviously.”

Or, Beatrice is due to graduate in a few months, going on to become a novitiate and take her vows. But the late arrival of her new roommate shakes things up.

Summary
She tells the darkness that she wants to build a life with Ava, says Ava’s name so softly and reverently that her hope begins to make light, sparking a flame. She imagines every grand detail, and every small one, too: going back to their place in the Alps, holding Ava’s hand in the broad openness of their town, drinking with her on Friday nights, kissing her hello and goodbye and for no reason at all.
She wants to carry Ava home after a long night. She wants Ava in her clothes, Ava in nothing at all, to never feel shame again. She doesn’t think she could; she could never be ashamed of loving Ava.
Come back, she thinks as the sun starts to rise, as she feels enough peace to close her eyes. Come back. There is so much I can’t wait to do with you.
And maybe it’s all the years she spent between pews, or all the times she’s fallen to her knees, or maybe it is just simple truth, however idealistic, but Beatrice really can’t help but think that Ava hears her.
(or, when Ava goes, Beatrice's family steps up for her as she learns to stand again. Beatrice growing after Ava is gone and after Ava returns to be with her – how they learn to live together, to be alive, and everything that it means.)

Summary
A red box appears next to Beatrice’s name and Ava’s jaw drops.
She squeaks and hurls the phone across her room, falling to the side to hide her face in her comforter like that’ll make fucking difference.

Summary
Ava rolls over, shutting her brain off, and very carefully presses the palm of her hand on Beatrice’s waist.
Beatrice tenses immediately, a sharp intake of breath filling the otherwise quiet bedroom.
A few seconds pass with nothing and Ava starts to pull away, an apology on her lips, when Beatrice grabs her wrist. It’s so fast that Ava hardly registers what happened, but suddenly, she’s being pulled to the other side of the bed.
Ava lets it happen, helps, and now she’s hovering over Beatrice. She’s so close she can see the shine in her eyes, how wide they are and she can see them flicker to her lips and back up.
Bea’s made this move, it’s her turn now. Ava leans forward, giving Beatrice a chance to turn her away.
When she doesn’t, it’s game over. Their lips meet and every functioning part of Ava’s brain that might tell her there will be consequences to this completely disappear.
The world could set fire tonight and Ava would keep kissing her as the apartment collapsed around them.
or
Ava and Bea hook up in Switzerland and everything is a mess because of it.
